Divine Mercy
Contact: Nigel Stokes 01536 460909

Website:http:thedivinemercy.org/message

Based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, Pope John Paul II instigated a chaplet of prayer to be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Divine Mercy emphasises that God loves us and that He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. The Vatican has stated that this is equal to the grace we receive in Baptism. If you would like to join others to pray the chaplet together every month, then contact Nigel Stokes.
